6 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and commitments made. These studies integrate the environmental concerns of developmental activities into the process of decision-making. EIA has emerged as one of the successful policy innovations of the 20th Century in the process of ensuring sustained development. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) serves as useful tool in prediction of potential impacts on the surrounding environment due to developmental project. It helps the project proponent, impact assessment authorities, regulatory agencies and other stakeholders in understanding the project, environmental impacts and mitigation measures, and establishing emission requirements and other measures early in the project cycle. This report describes the project location, baseline environmental scenario, potential impacts of the project on the environment and proposed measures for effective environment management during the project cycle (Environmental Management Plan during construction and operation stage of the project). M/s Bharuch Enviro Infrastructure Limited (BEIL) is operating Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF) consisting of secured landfill (SLF) (since 1997) and Common Incineration System (since 2004) at plot number , , G-7 & 8, , , , 7905 E to H GIDC Ankleshwar Gujarat. This is the first common landfill facility developed in India, under the guidance of National Productivity Council, New Delhi and the German experts with them. The CHWTSDF has been notified by Government of Gujarat. Phase-I of secured landfill facility, after disposal of 6 Lacs MT of solid/hazardous wastes, has been capped as per CPCB guidelines. Phase-II of secured landfill has been designed by IIT Delhi and is in operation (since 2007) having the capacity of 17 Lacs MT. Till December 2016, approximately 23lacs MT of solid/hazardous wastes has been disposed. BEIL, during its 18 years of operation, have collected and disposed of approximately 23 Lacs MT of hazardous wastes in the secured landfill (SLF). The Phase III of secured landfill (SLF) has been designed by IIT Delhi and is in under construction phase having the capacity of Lacs MT (assuming a density 1.5 Mg/m3). Common Incineration System for treating organic waste was setup in 2004 with thermal capacity of 6.5 million kcal/hour. BEIL have setup second incinerator in 2012 and in this system, waste heat is also recovered. The steam generated is used in the Multiple Effect Evaporation System (MEE). Solid Liquid/ other types of wastes are being treated in the Common Incineration system and so far approximately 1.53 Lacs MT waste has been incinerated. As the incinerable waste generation in the region is increasing day by day, BEIL is not able to treat the requirement of member industries. Also, during the breakdown and maintenance of existing incinerators, there is requirement for an incinerator. 1 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

14 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Importance of the project to Country & Region Hazardous Waste Management (HWM) is of global significance. The adverse impacts caused due to the indiscriminate disposal of Hazardous Wastes (HWs) are considered as technological disasters. There was no proper secured landfill facility available in India to dispose of Hazardous Waste (HW) till Very few industries in India, mostly in large scale and a few in medium scale, own proper treatment and disposal facilities (captive facility). Hazardous Waste generated by the industries can cause environmental pollution and adverse health effects if not handled and managed properly. In order to manage Hazardous Waste (HW) mainly solids, semi-solids, solvents and other industrial wastes which are not covered by the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, and to enable the authorities to control handling, transport, treatment and disposal of Hazardous Waste (HW) in an environmentally sound manner, The Ministry of Environment & Forests and Climate Change(MoEF& CC) promulgated Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules on 28 July 1989 under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, In September 2008, the said Rules were repealed and new Rules entitled Hazardous Waste & other (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 (here after referred as HW (M, H & TM) Rules) were notified. As per the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 under of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, hazardous waste generated by industries has to be collected, transported, treated and disposed in a properly designed TSDF Facility. Under aforesaid Rules and its amendments, CPCB guidelines have laid down a procedure for collection, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes. The scientific disposal of landfill hazardous waste can be done at a secured landfill, which requires proper design and operation according to existing guidelines Based on the data provided by the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and Pollution Control Committees (PCCs), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has compiled statewise inventory of hazardous waste generating industries and published a document entitled National Inventory of Hazardous Waste Generating Industries and Hazardous Waste Management in India based on the information received for the year Total land fillable hazardous waste generation in Gujarat State reported is 11, 07, 128 Tonnes a year.

32 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 2.5 SITE DEVELOPMENT ELEMENTS OF DESIGN Incinerator Thermal oxidation through incinerator is one of the proven technologies for destruction of hazardous waste in all the forms i.e. solid / semi solid / liquid and gaseous, based on the feeding system, to render them innocuous in the form of non-toxic and nonhazardous residues. Though it is a solution for destruction of complex hazardous waste, requires knowledge to judge the compatibility of various wastes for the purpose of homogenization of feeding waste, to operate and maintain thermal processes, pollution control devices, which demands skill & experience, in order to comply with the environmental regulations for common hazardous waste incineration facilities. The Common incineration facilities are, in principle, expected to handle the hazardous waste in solid and liquid forms having high degree of variation in respect of characteristics due to different nature of member industries, which will have direct bearing on efficiency of combustion system and pollution control devices. Therefore, experience in other parts of the world, particularly in case of handling hazardous waste in solid form, drive us to adopt rotary kilns followed by secondary combustion chambers as a set-up for combustion part of the incineration system, unless other combinations demonstrate equally in delivering required efficiency. Bharuch Enviro Infrastructure Ltd (BEIL) is a Company promoted by industries at Ankleshwar having Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage & Disposal Facility with Secured Landfill, Common Incineration System, MEE, Bio Gas Plant and other necessary infrastructure. In addition to the hazardous landfill, the Site has a separate hazardous waste incineration facility located to the south of Phase I. This comprises two rotary kiln hazardous waste incinerators. First Common Incineration System set up in 2004 was one of the very few Incinerators in India. The 2nd Common Incineration System with Heat Recovery system commissioned in 2012.Both incinerators has a capacity of 2.5 Tonnes per hour, giving a total capacity of 5 Tonnes per hour. Waste heat from the incinerators is used to facilitate landfill leachate evaporation. BEIL has incinerated approximately 1.53 Lacs MT of waste and utilized steam from Waste Heat Recovery Boiler of the Incineration plant into the Multiple Effect Evaporator. M/s BEIL has installed Common Incineration Systems with capacity 6.5 Million Kcal/hr at the same site. The incineration system is as rotary kiln type with post combustion chamber, quencher, dry scrubber, bag filter, wet scrubber, ID fan. The system can treat solid wastes/liquid waste / sludge s generated by the industries. The Common 28 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

34 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Figure 2-3Block Diagram of the proposed incinerator Operating Procedure of the incinerator Waste feeding /charging Facility Maintaining designed heat capacity of the combustion chambers under varying feed calorific values demands skill. Therefore, continuous feeding of homogeneous waste having same / similar calorific value to the combustion chambers is the desired choice. However, often maintaining homogeneous feed of waste is not feasible due to incompatibility of different wastes for mixing. While charging the liquid hazardous waste, filtering the liquids is practiced to avoid chocking of pumps Combustion Chambers BEIL designs, equips, builds and operates in such a way that the gas resulting from the process is raised in a controlled and homogenous fashion. Incineration plant-3 will equip with at least one auxiliary burner, switched on automatically with the temperature of the combustion gases after the last injection of combustion air falls below specified temperature. During plant start-up and shut-down operations it is ensured that the minimum specified temperature is maintained at all times during these operations and as long as unburnt waste is in the combustion chamber, Ensuring 99.9% DRE.

Slope of approx. 3 degrees, appropriate rotation rates and solid waste residence time of 90 min is in accordance to achieve total organic carbon (TOC) and loss on ignition (LOI) requirements in the ash/slag. In the rotary kiln, the temperature is maintained at 800+ C in order to ensure complete burning of solid waste. Controlled flow of air is ensured for complete volatilization of solid waste. Post-Combustion chambers (Secondary Combustion Chamber) Minimum temperature of 1100 C is ensured in the secondary combustion chamber. The operating conditions demonstrate a minimum of 2 seconds residence time in the secondary combustion chamber to bring complete combustion of volatile matte revolved from the primary combustion chamber. The natural gas is used as auxiliary fuel to maintain the temperature. The high calorific value waste can also be injected to maintain temp. The aqueous waste spray also helps in maintaining heat load. The ash from the kiln as well as the post combustion chamber is collected in the submerged ash conveyor at the bottom of this chamber. Negative pressure is maintained here. An Emergency vent is also provided on the top of this chamber. Waste Heat Recovery Boiler The flue gas from Post combustion chamber enters at Temperature of 1100º C in waste heat recovery Boiler and convert the water in to steam by heat transfer.

43 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 2.6 MULTIPLE EFFECT EVAPORATION SYSTEM (MEE) DETAIL The Multiple Effect Evaporation System having 3 stages with striper and centrifuge have capacity of 15 TPH. Steam generated from Heat Recovery Boiler is taken for evaporation. The system can evaporate effluent with high dissolved solids and the salt can be collected from the last stage. Leachate from Landfill and Scrubber solution from Incinerator is treated in MEE and salt from MEE is disposed in Landfill facility (TSDF). A stand-by Boiler is also arranged for availability of steam when the incineration plant is not in operation or any other maintenance problems. This helps in better operation of the MEE System. In this system the leachate generated from landfill, bleed generated from Incinerators and high TDS and high COD effluent of member industries including that received through ETL is treated. The condensate generated in MEE is sent to ETL at Ankleshwar having common effluent treatment plant.the salt generated from MEE plant is sent for disposal at secured landfill facility of BEIL. 2.7 PROCESS DESCRIPTION OF EVAPORATION SYSTEM: The feed pump sends the liquid effluent to Calandria C1 trough series of preheater. The preheater preheats the effluent from ambient temperature to approx C 90 0 C. So that the vaporization start taking place as it enters in Calandria C1. In Calandria C1 preheated effluent is recirculated in tubes with high velocity. To enhance the evaporation process vacuum is applied and steam is supplied on jacket side of Calandria C1. Evaporation process will take place in vapour separator. Liquid is continuously recalculated through the tubes of Calandria, where sensible heat transfer takes place between steam and effluent flowing through the tubes. Effluent is allowed to flash in the vapour separator under vacuum. This flash vapour will be utilized for evaporation in second effect. Concentred liquor is sent to suction of recirculation pump- 2 by gravity from overflow of Vapour separator-1. The vapour shall give away the heat to the concentrated mother liquor flowing in tube of Calandria C2. The forced circulation in Calandria C1 & C2 will concentrate the feed effluent below the saturation limit so that crystallization does not take place. The water vapour generated from vapor separator 03 is finally condensed in direct contact type primary condenser. The concentrated salt slurry shall be transferred to salt settler where salt are settled at bottom and overflow of saturated liquid will transfer to evaporator through balance tank and resend to Calandria 02 and 03. Salt slurry is transferred through gravity to centrifuge from where solids are filtered out and saturated liquor is sent back to evaporator. Only solids from Centrifuge come out from the plant and is sent to the secure landfill of BEIL. The motive steam is suppled in Calandria 01. The steam shall condense in Calandria 01 and the water vapour generated in Vapour separator 01, 02 & 03 shall condense in Calandria 2 & 3 jacket, which are collected in condensate Pot. The clear water generated by Multiple Effect Evaporation Plant shall be reused as cooling water in Evaporation system. 39 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

Air exiting from the separator is drawn at a measured rate through the separator followed by a pre-weighed glass fibre sheet of 20 cm x 25 cm sizes (Whatman, EPM-2000 or equivalent).the RPM concentrations are determined gravimetrically from the average airflow rate, sampling period and the mass of particulate matter collected over the GF filter surface. Fine Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) The sampling of ambient air was performed with Fine Particulate Sampler for particles less than 2.5 microns diameter. The PM 2.5 concentrations are determined gravimetrically from the average airflow rate, sampling period and the mass of particulate matter collected over the PTFE filter surface. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) The sampling of ambient air for evaluating SO2 concentrations was performed with a Multigas Sampler, using the vacuum created by the Respirable Dust Sampler for drawing the air samples through the impingers. Air is drawn at a measured and controlled rate of 300 ml/min through a solution of sodium tetra-chloromercurate. After completion of the sampling, the used absorbing reagent is treated with dilute solutions of sulfamic acid, formaldehyde and para rosaniline hydrochloride. The absorbance of the intensely coloured para rosaniline methyl sulphonic acid is measured and the amount of SO2 in the sample is computed from graphs prepared with standard solutions. The ambient SO2 concentrations were computed from the amount of SO2 collected and the volume of air sampled. 52 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

57 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) The sampling of ambient air for evaluating NOx concentrations was performed with a Multigas Sampler, using the vacuum created by the Respirable Dust Sampler for drawing the air samples through the impingers. Air is drawn at a measured and controlled rate of about 300 ml/minute through an orifice-tipped impinger containing solutions of sodium hydroxide and sodium arsenite. After completion of the sampling, an aliquot of the used absorbing solution was treated with solutions of H2O2, sulphanilamide and NEDA. The nitrite ion present in the impinger was calculated from the absorbance of the resulting solution and from the graphs prepared with standard solutions. The ambient NOx concentrations were computed from the total nitrite ion present in the impingers, overall efficiency of the impinger and the procedure, and the volume of air sampled. Carbon monoxide (CO) The method of determining carbon monoxide is by hand held CO indicator Model gazguard Tx of Pollution Protection Systems. Ozone (O3) The sampling of ambient air for evaluating ozone is done by using the vacuum created by the Respirable Dust Sampler for drawing the air samples by placing 10 ml of absorbing solution in a standard impinger and sample for one hour at the flow rate of 1 L/min. After sampling measure the volume of sample and transfer to a sample storage bottle. Ammonia (NH3) Indophenol blue method prescribed by CPCB is followed. Ammonia in the atmosphere is collected by bubbling a measured volume of air through a dilute solution of sulphuric acid to form ammonium sulphate. The ammonium sulphate formed in the sample is analyzed colorimetrically by reaction with phenol and alkaline sodium hypochlorite to produce indophenol. The reaction is accelerated by the addition of Sodium Nitroprusside as catalyst. Lead (Pb) Arsenic (As), Nickel (Ni) The Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)/ Inducto Coupled Plasma (ICP) technique makes use of absorption spectrometry to assess the concentration of an analyte in the sample. The method is based on active sampling using PM10 High Volume Sampler and then sample analysis is done by atomic absorption spectrophotometer/ Inducto coupled plasma.

The minimum values for day & night time were found to be 55 db(a) and 45 db(a) respectively. 3.7 LAND ENVIRONMENT Soil & Local Geology The geological formations of the area show that study area of Ankleshwar is situated in the region where deep black type i.e. transported soil are prominent. The depth of these soils varies from 60 cm to few meters. The deep black soils, in general, are clayey in texture, poor in drainage and neutral to alkaline reaction. The site is located on alluvial plain. The topmost layer of soil is mainly, black cotton type, with its thickness around 2.5 m. Below 77 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

82 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN this layer, there is a brownish to yellowish brown silty clay extending up to about 5m depth. The exchange complex is dominated by calcium and followed by magnesium and sodium + potassium. These soils are comparatively more fertile than the medium and shallow black soils. The other type of soils is dark brown to very dark grayish brown in colour and they contain 40 to 70 percent clay. The hydraulic permeability of soil at 1 meter depth is of the order of 1 x 10-4 cm/sec at the site. The clay content of soil varies from 17 to 41%. The lower permeability and higher clay and silt content of soil makes the site more favorable in order to prevent the ground water contamination from the leachate generated. As per the International Regulations the subsoil should have permeability less than 1 x 10-5 cm/sec. therefore, the site has to be provided with impermeable synthetic liners Soil Quality Soil samples from eleven locations (Two from core zone and nine from buffer zone) were collected and analysed to assess the baseline characteristics of the soil in the study area. Location of sampling stations is shown in Figure 3.11 and distance and direction is given in Table Analysis results of soil sampling are given in Table 3.21A & 3.21B Figure 3-13Soil monitoring Location map. 78 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

Porosity, Infiltration. Water holding capacity Grain size distribution: Texture indicates relative proportion of various sizes of primary soil particles such as sand, silt and clay present in the soil. Based on their quantities present in the soil sample and using the textural classification diagram. The textural classes of eleven soil samples are loamy sand, sandy clay loam and clay..i.e coarse to fine texture.. Bulk density values confirm the textural class Bulk Density: In case of bulk density total soil space (space occupied by solid and pore spaces combined) are taken in to consideration. Thus Bulk Density is defined as the mass (weight) of a unit volume of a dry soil. This volume would, off course include both solids and pores. Soil texture, soil structure and organic matter content are the factors influencing the bulk density of a soil. Bulk Density, besides being an interesting and significant physical characteristic, is very important as a basis for certain computations. The Bulk density of the eleven soil sample under consideration ranges between1.46 to 1.73 gm/cc, and confirms the texture of the soil samples of the area under study. 83 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

88 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Porosity: The pore space of a soil is the space occupied by air and water and is expressed as percent pore space. The amount of this pore space is determined by structural conditions, that is by inter- related influence of texture, compactness and aggregation. Porosity is also related to aeration and retention and movement of water in the soil. The porosity of eleven soil sample ranges between 32 to 49 % are low in samples with coarse texture and moderately high in fine texture in accordance to the texture of soil, and considered poor to moderate for air and water movement in the soil for crops. Permeability: permeability is the entry of fluid from one medium to another. In soil water relationship, it means entry of water from air in to soil. : permeability rate is defined as maximum rate at which a soil in a given condition can absorb rain or irrigation water as it comes at soil surface, permeability rate is the rate of water entry in to the soil when flow is non-divergent. It is a surface and sub surface character, and is expressed as mm/sec or cm/hr.permeability of eleven samples under study ranges between 0.7 to 2.1 cm/hour are correlating with physical characters and classified as moderate to moderately slow for agriculture and conservation, indicating good availability of moisture to cops after rain or irrigation. Water Holding Capacity (WHC): Water holding capacity of soil is the maximum amount of moisture, a dry soil is capable of holding, under given standard condition. If the moisture content is increased further percolation result WHC is of great value to practical agriculture, since it provides a simple means to determine moisture content. WHC required for good crop growth is 35 to 70%. The WHC of the eleven soil samples ranges between 21 to 25 % indicating somewhat frequent water application for growing crops Chemical Characters: The parameters considered for chemical analysis are: Soil reaction (ph), Electrical conductivity (EC), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)), sodium Adsorption Ratio, (SAR). ESP, Macro nutrients like Available Nitrogen, total Organic carbon, organic matter Available phosphorus, available potassium Micro nutrients like Zinc, manganese,copper. Heavy metals like Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni),, Cadmium (Cd) and Chromium (Cr),Lead(Pb),Nickel(Ni), arsenic(as) and PAH Soil reaction (ph):the nutritional importance of ph is illustrated, thus hydrogen ion concentration has influence not only on, solubility of nutrients, but also upon facility with which these nutrients are absorbed by plants, even already in soil solution for e.g. Fe,Mn and Zn become less available as ph rises from 4.5 to 7 to 8. At ph 6.5 to7.0 utilization of nitrate and ammonia nitrogen becomes more available. In case of phosphorus it becomes less available to plant as ph increases above 8.5, due to its fixation in exchange complex of 84 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

89 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN soil. For the eleven soil sample under consideration the ph ranges between 7.74 to 7.99 indicating soils are slightly alkaline, and are almost normal for crop growth. Electrical conductivity (EC): The salt content of the soils are estimated by EC measurements, and is useful to designate soils as normal or sodic (saline). Electrical conductivity is expressed as µmhos/cm at 25 C, µmhos/ cm or mmhos /cm or µs/cm. The EC of eleven soil samples is between 110 to160.µmhos/cm and are below the limits to be called as saline and hence the soils are normal for crop growth. Organic Carbon / Organic matter( %)Although accounting for only a small part of the total soil mass in mineral soils, organic matter influences physical, chemical, and biological activities in the soil. Organic matter in the soil is plant and animal residue which serves as a reserve for many essential nutrients, especially nitrogen. Determination of organic matter helps to estimate the nitrogen which will be released by bacterial activity for the next season depending on the conditions, soil aeration, ph, type of organic material, and other factors. The eleven soil samples under consideration contain 0.33to2.92% organic carbon and 0.58 to 1.55 % organic matter, calculated from organic carbon estimation. As per crop requirements different soils samples are low to sufficient in organic matter content. Available Nitrogen (N) Nitrogen is a part of all living cells and is a necessary part of all proteins, enzymes and metabolic processes involved in the synthesis and transfer of energy. Nitrogen is a part of chlorophyll, the green pigment of the plant that is responsible for photosynthesis. Helps plants with rapid growth, increasing seed and fruit production and improving the quality of leaf and forage crops. The available nitrogen in the eleven samples in question, as per analysis, ranges between 216 to 465 kg/ha showing good available nitrogen content in different samples, for crop growth. Available Phosphorus (P): Like nitrogen, phosphorus (P) is an essential part of the process of photosynthesis. Involved in the formation of all, oils, sugars, starches, etc. Helps with the transformation of solar energy into chemical energy; proper plant maturation; withstanding stress. Effects rapid growth,.encourages blooming and root growth. The phosphorus content of soil of eleven samples ranges between 8 to 21 kg/ha and falls under very low and low category, for crop growth. Available Potassium (K): Potassium is absorbed by plants in larger amounts than any other mineral element except nitrogen and in some cases, calcium. Helps in the building of protein, photosynthesis, fruit quality and reduction of diseases. The Potassium content of eleven soil samples ranges between 46.7 to kg/ha and is very low to low for crop growth. 85 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

90 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Cation Exchange capacity (CEC): The total amount of exchangeable cations that a soil can retain is designated as cation exchange capacity (CEC) and usually expressed as me/100gm of soil. Determination of amount of cations present in soil is useful, because CEC influences the availability of adsorbed cations to both higher plants and soil microorganisms. Thus CEC is directly related to fertility of soils. The CEC of the elevan samples ranges between 11.6 to 28 me / 100gm soil. A soil with low CEC indicates low fertility and soils with high CEC indicates high fertility. Eleven soil samples are having low to high percentage of clay, hence CEC in turn is low to high and fertility is also low to high. Sodium Adsorption ratio (SAR): Sodium adsorption ratio is ratio of Na+ to under root of Ca + +Mg++ by 2. SAR values of soil solution along with EC and ph helps in diagnosing soils as normal, saline, saline-alkali or alkali. The elevan soil samples show SAR values between1.41 to 3.74, and indicate that soils are normal. (SAR values below 13).Exchangeable Sodium percent (ESP): The degree of saturation of the soil exchange complex with sodium is called as exchangeable sodium and is expressed as percent of cation exchange capacity. The values of ESP are used to designate soil as normal or salt affected. The ESP of eleven samples varies between 1.54 to 4.08 % and is less than 15%, hence soils are not salt affected. Manganese( Mn): Is an important plant micro nutrient and is required by plants in second greater quantity compared to iron, like any other element, it can have limiting factor on plant growth, if it is deficient or toxic in plant tissue. Manganese is used in plants as major contribution to various biological systems, including photo synthesis, respiration and nitrogen assimilation. Mn content in the eleven samples ranges between3.45to8.8 mg/kg and is very high in some samples and may cause toxicity to plants. Zinc (Zn) Zn deficiency most often is present in sandy soils with neutral or alkaline ph, or with low organic matter. Total zinc may be high but the availability depends on other factors. In the present eleven samples Zinc content ranges between2.31 to22.1 mg/kg and are normal, considered sufficient for crop growth. Copper (Cu): Copper is an essential element for plant growth. Soils naturally contain copper in some form or other, ranging anywhere from 2 to 100 parts per million (ppm) and averaging at about 30 ppm. Most plants contain about 8 to 20 ppm. Without adequate copper, plants will fail to grow properly. Therefore, maintaining fair amounts of copper in the soil is 86 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

91 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN important. The eleven samples under consideration contains copper between 10.1 to31.1 and is sufficient for crop growth. Iron (Fe): Iron is essential for crop and other plants for chlorophyll formation Iron deficiency likely occurs in soils with high ph, poor aeration, excessive phosphorus, or low organic matter. It may be produced also by an imbalance of Mo, Cu, and Man. In plants, the deficiency shows up as a pale green leaf color (chlorosis) with sharp distinction between green veins and yellow inter-venial tissues. The iron content of eleven samples ranges between to33.33 mg/kg and is normal. Heavy Metals Soils may become contaminated by the accumulation of heavy metals and metalloids through emissions from the rapidly expanding industrial areas, mine tailings, disposal of high metal wastes, leaded gasoline and paints, land application of fertilizers, animal manures, sewage sludge, pesticides, wastewater irrigation, coal combustion residues, spillage of petrochemicals, and atmospheric deposition. Heavy metals constitute an ill-defined group of inorganic chemical hazards, and those most commonly found at contaminated sites are lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd),), mercury (Hg), and nickel (Ni) Soils are the major sink for heavy metals released into the environment by aforementioned anthropogenic activities and unlike organic contaminants which are oxidized to carbon (IV) oxide by microbial action, most metals do not undergo microbial or chemical degradation and their total concentration in soils persists for a long time after their introduction Changes in their chemical forms (speciation) and bioavailability are, however, possible. The presence of toxic metals in soil can severely inhibit the biodegradation of organic contaminants [Heavy metal contamination of soil may pose risks and hazards to humans and the ecosystem through: direct ingestion or contact with contaminated soil, the food chain (soil-plant-human or soil-plant-animal-human), drinking of contaminated ground water, reduction in food quality (safety and marketability) via phyto-toxicity, reduction in land usability for agricultural production causing food insecurity, and land tenure problems Chromium (Cr) Chromium mobility depends on sorption characteristics of the soil, including clay content, iron oxide content, and the amount of organic matter present. Chromium can be transported by surface runoff to surface waters in its soluble or precipitated form. Soluble and un-adsorbed chromium complexes can leach from soil into groundwater. The leachability of Cr (VI) increases as soil ph increases. Most of Cr released into natural waters is particle associated, however, and is ultimately deposited into the sediment. In the elevan samples the chromium is between ( DL 0.2 mg/kg) to4.12 mg/kg and is within normal limits. Lead (Pb) Typical mean Pb concentration for surface soils worldwide averages 32 mg kg 1 and ranges from 10 to 67 mg kg 1 The most serious source of exposure to soil 87 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

92 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN lead is through direct ingestion of contaminated soil or dust. In general, plants do not absorb or accumulate lead. However, in soils testing high in lead, it is possible for some lead to be taken up. Studies have shown that lead does not readily accumulate in the fruiting parts of vegetable and fruit crops (e.g., corn, beans, squash, tomatoes, strawberries, and apples). Higher concentrations are more likely to be found in leafy vegetables (e.g., lettuce) and on the surface of root crops (e.g., carrots). Since plants do not take up large quantities of soil lead, the lead levels in soil considered safe for plants will be much higher than soil lead levels where eating of soil is a concern (pica). Generally, it has been considered safe to use garden produce grown in soils with total lead levels less than 300 ppm. The risk of lead poisoning through the food chain increases as the soil lead level rises above this concentration. Even at soil levels above 300 ppm, most of the risk is from lead contaminated soil or dust deposits on the plants rather than from uptake of lead by the plant. In the eleven samples the Lead ranges between0.54 to 3.12 mg/kg and within permissible limit. Nickel ( Ni): Nickel is an element that occurs in the environment only at very low levels and is essential in small doses, but it can be dangerous when the maximum tolerable amounts are exceeded.. It usually takes a long time for nickel to be removed from air. The larger part of all Ni compounds that are released to the environment will adsorb to sediment or soil particles and become immobile as a result. In acidic soils, however, Ni becomes more mobile and often leaches down to the adjacent groundwater. In the eleven soil samples, the nickel content is below the permissible limit i.e to 3.75 mg/kg Arsenic (As) Arsenate can adsorb or co precipitates with metal sulfides and has a high affinity for other sulfur compounds. Elemental arsenic and arsine, AsH3, may be present under extreme reducing conditions. Biotransformation (via methylation) of arsenic creates methylated derivatives of arsine. As compounds adsorb strongly to soils and are therefore transported only over short distances in groundwater and surface water. In the eleven samples the arsenic values are between 9 DL 0.2 mg /kg) to 4.2 mg/kg and are within permissible limit and normal. Mercury (Hg) Sorption to soils, sediments, and humic materials is an important mechanism for the removal of Hg from solution. Sorption is ph dependent and increases as ph increases. Mercury may also be removed from solution by co-precipitation with sulphides. Under anaerobic conditions, both organic and inorganic forms of Hg may be converted to alkylated forms by microbial activity, such as by sulfur-reducing bacteria. Elemental mercury may also be formed under anaerobic conditions by demethylation of methyl mercury, or by reduction of Hg (II). Acidic conditions (ph < 4) also favor the formation of methyl mercury, whereas higher ph values favor precipitation of HgS(s).In theelevan samples the mercury content is Below detectible limit < 0.1mg/kg and within permissible limit. 88 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

93 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Cadmium (Cd) The application of agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and biosolids (sewage sludge), the disposal of industrial wastes or the deposition of atmospheric contaminants increases the total concentration of Cd in soils, and the bioavailability of this Cd determines whether plant Cd uptake occurs to a significant degree. Cadmium is very bio -persistent but has few toxicological properties and, once absorbed by an organism, remains resident for many years. The eleven samples contain cadmium below detectible limit of 0.2 mg/kg and no contamination. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of over 100 hazardous substances. They are so common in industrial processes that they are present in at least 600 of the 1,430 National Priorities list compiled by the Environmental Protection Agency US). A PAH is formed during the incomplete burning of garbage, petroleum products, coal, or other organics like meat and tobacco. Volcanoes, forest fires, coal burning, and car exhaust create the majority of PAHs, but also industrial sites where things like coking, asphalt production, and trash incineration occur. When a group of carbon atoms fail to break apart when burning, and bond with oxygen atoms, which would, if the process was complete, create harmless carbon dioxide (CO2), the substance that we naturally exhale. The structure consists of molecules containing two or more fused six-carbon atom aromatic rings. Only hydrogen and carbon are present in the molecules. While there are many types of PAHs, common characteristics include relatively low water solubility; they are in a solid form with high melting and boiling points. PAHs degrade through chemical, photolytic and metabolic processes associated with microorganisms. Recommended.The values apply to the total content of the seven selected PAHs. Soil quality criterion: 1.5 mg of PAH/kg of soil. The criterion indicates a safe level for contact with soil (children playing, home owners).cut-off criterion: 15 mg of PAH/kg of soil. This criterion indicates the level at which all contact with soil should be cut off if the land use of the area is sensitive. The PAH values in eleven samples is below detectable limit i.e 5 mg/kg and normal. Comments: The interpretation of field data, physical and chemical data it can be concluded that: As per the physical data soils are coarse to fine texture, having moderate bulk density, imperatively moderate water holding capacity, and moderate to slow permeability. As per physical characters soils are rated as moderately good for agriculture. As per chemical characters soil reaction (ph) soils are slightly alkaline and normal for crop growth and electrical conductivity (EC) is non saline (normal). Organic matter is low to sufficient. Macro nutrient like nitrogen is good and phosphorus is low to very low to low potassium. Base saturation is very high. Sodium is below the limit to make soil saline or sodic or alkali. 89 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

94 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Micro-nutrients, Mn (normal to high), Zn (Normal). Content of micro nutrient like Mn, Zn, are normal.,. Cation Exchange capacity is low to high indicating poor to good fertility. High base saturation, Sodium adsorption ratio and ESP indicates the soils are normal. Heavy metals like Chromium(Cr),Lead(Pb),Nickel(Ni), Arsenic(As),Mercury(Hg) and Cadmium(Cd) are normal and no danger of bio-magnification. As observed during field visit of 10 km buffer area from boundary of TSDF site. There are soils on mid alluvial plains and piedmont plains and are loamy sand sandy clay loam to clay they are developed on basaltic and alluvium parent material. Thus as per analysis of soils data and field observation the land can be classified as class IIIe land i.e. Moderately good soils, on alluvial and basaltic material,subject to water erosion., as per land capability classification( USDA) i.e. moderate land for sustained agriculture. 3.8 Land use/land cover Introduction: The term Land Use relates to the human activity or economic function associated with a specific piece of Land, while the term Land Cover relates to the type of feature present on the surface of the earth (Lillesand and Kiefer, 2000). The knowledge of Land Use Land Cover is important for many planning and management activities as it is considered as an essential element for modeling and understanding the earth system. Land use maps are presently being developed from local to National to Global Scales for Environmental Impact Studies. The satellite Remote Sensing technology has found its acceptance worldwide for rapid resource assessment and monitoring, particularly in the developing world. All these advancement have widened the applicability of Remotely Sensed data in various areas, like forest cover, vegetation type mapping, and their changes in regional scale. If satellite data is judiciously used along with the sufficient ground data, it is possible to carry out detailed forest inventories, monitoring of land Use and vegetation cover at various scales.

As the proposed site is in Ankleshwar Industrial Area, it is well developed with road electricity, and water connectivity. Cropland: Crop land contributes to 34.15% area within the 10km radius buffer of study area. The crop land is mostly Maze, Javari, rice, and other cattle feed crop. Fallow land: The first major land use is fallow land, that cover about % area within 10km radius buffer. This fallow land is because of changing of crop type and also because of leaving the land uncultivated to get fertile. Some of the fallow land is seen because of hilly region where there is lack of continuous water supply. Water Bodies: There are very few water bodies in the study area and contributes to 0.68 % of area within 10km radius from the plant site. This is the main cause for high fallow land in the study area. 97 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

102 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 3.9 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT Biological diversity comprises the variability of genus, species and ecosystems and is very crucial for maintaining the basic processes on which the life depends. Broadly it can be divided into two types i.e. the floral diversity and faunal diversity. Conservation of the biodiversity is essential for the sustainable development as it not only provides the food, fodder and medicine but also contribute in improvement of essential environmental attributes like air, water, soil, etc. Before starting any Environmental Impact Assessment study, it is necessary to identify the baseline of relevant environmental parameters which are likely to be affected as a result of operation of the proposed project. A similar approach has been adopted for conducting the study on Biological Environment for this Project. Both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems have been studied to understand the biological environment Physical Environment of the study area: Ankleshwar is located at N E, in the district of Bharuch. It has an average elevation of 35 meters. And situated about 10 km south of the Bharuch. Bharuch is a port city situated on the banks of the Narmada River. The damming of the Narmada caused the original port facilities to close; the nearest port is now in Dahej. The Bharuch district is surrounded by Vadodara (North), Narmada (East) and Surat (South) districts. To the west is the Gulf of Khambhat. Very often heavy monsoon rain brings floods in the Narmada basin area. The Village had witnessed major floods in the past, but now the floods have been controlled after the damming of the Narmada. Natural Drainage Pattern: The area is drained by Narmada River and it flows from North of the proposed project site. The River flows from East to West. It is at about 9km northwest of the proposed location. Geology of the Area: The study area is within Ankleshwar of Bharuch District. The area is covered with thick alluvial of Narmada basin. No other rock formations are exposed in the area Climate The area has a tropical savanna climate (under Köppen's Climate classification), moderated strongly by the Arabian Sea. The summer begins in early March and lasts until June. April and May are the hottest months, the average maximum temperature being 40 C (104 F). Monsoon begins in late June and the area receives about 800 millimetres (31 in) of rain by 98 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

128 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 4.1 Impacts Prediction/Evaluation and Its Mitigation Measures For prediction of impact environment due to the proposed project (enhancement of capacity in incinerator) activities there are several scientific techniques and methodologies which are adopted. Mathematical models are useful tools (where applicable) to quantitatively describe the cause and effect relationships between sources of pollution and different components of environment. In cases where it is not possible to identify and validate a model for a particular situation, predictions have been arrived at based on logical reasoning / consultation / extrapolation or overlay methods. In any case, for each component of the environment, the methods used to arrive at the likely impacts are required to be described. Evaluation is an absolute term used for assessment and prediction by means of numerical expression or value. Assessment is the process of identifying and interpreting the environmental consequences of the significant actions. Prediction is a way of mapping the environmental consequences of the significant actions. Significant action depicts direct adverse changes caused by the action and its effect on health of biota including flora, fauna and man, socio-economic conditions, landforms and resources, physical and cultural heritage properties and quality of bio-physical surroundings. In most cases the predictions consists of indicating merely whether there will be degradation, no change, or enhancement of environmental quality. An impact indicator is a parameter that provides a measure (in at least some qualitative or numerical sense) of the significance and magnitude of the impact. In India, indicators are available in the form of primary and biological water quality criteria, and national ambient standards for noise and air. Predictions of biological environmental components are often uncertain, because their response to environmental stress cannot be predicted in absolute terms. The impacts of the proposed project on the environment have been considered based on the information provided by the proponents and data collected at the site. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project while secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced and typically include the associated investments and changed pattern of social and economic activities by the proposed action. The construction and operation phase of the proposed project comprises various activities each of which have been considered to assess the impact on one or another environmental parameters. Construction phase comprises of site cleaning, topographical survey (if any) machinery installation etc whereas establishment phases mainly consist of civil works such as earth moving, leveling of land and approach roads. Machinery installation and commissioning involve activities like fabrication work, cutting, welding and other facilities, lying of 124 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

Motor vehicle transportation (to, from and around the site) particularly the traffic on unpaved trucks at the site, material movement into the site will introduce particulates Emissions are expected to result in temporary degradation of air quality, affecting construction employees in the working environment. However, dust generation and SPM rise in the ambient air will be coarse and will settle within a short distance close to the construction sites. Hence, dust and other emissions are unlikely to spread sufficiently to affect the surroundings of the construction site. OPERATION PHASE During operation phase anticipated impact on ambient air quality due to proposed project activities at TSDF site depends on the magnitude of handling of hazardous waste, storage, stabilization and transportation of wastes. During operation period of Secured Landfill site, the background contamination of ambient air around the site area is due to transportation activity in the estate where the site is proposed. The particulate matters is likely to increase to the very limited extent as during the loading/unloading operation of industrial waste, the dust and soil erosion may take place. No additional emission of gaseous and particulate matter due to Secured Land Filling operation of industrial hazardous waste is expected. The emissions of particulate matter from the proposed activities will be controlled by effective dust suppression measures. Vehicular movements within the project area (TSDF Site) will add marginally to NOx and CO concentration. Emissions of particulate matter may be higher within the active TSDF operational areas due to handling of hazardous wastes during transportation and processing (stabilization). However, out site the TSDF area in the buffer zone, it is not likely to be affected significantly, if the recommended dust suppression and mitigation measures are taken. Presently, the regular AAQ monitoring conducted by M/S BEIL within the TSDF (Core) area (boundaries of operational area) shows that the levels of PM10, PM 2.5, SO2 and NOX are well within the limits prescribed by CPCB. The magnitude of dispersion of particulate matter to villages within 10 km will be of lower level. 125 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

Emission from other activities like construction machinery fueled by diesel and from mobile source will be in the form of PM10, VOC, CO, NOx and SO Air quality modelling A detailed study on emission sources and quantification of pollutant concentration by means of dispersion modeling is required to access the environmental impact of a mine. On the basis of the predicted increments to air pollutant concentrations, an effective mitigation and environmental plan can be devised for sensitive areas. In case of enhancement in capacity of incinerator, the impacts may only be caused by stack emission material handling and transportation activities. The incinerator is equipped with air pollution control devise to control the emission. Air quality modeling has been attempted using AERMOD 8.5. Open pit modeling has been carried out for open pit respectively. Wind From the modeling exercise, dust concentrations at certain receptor locations have been predicted and it was found that the resultant PM10,So2, NOx & CO level at these locations will remain within the NAAQS norms.

There will be no instance of violation of national standards. 4.3 Mitigation Measures for air pollution: Development of greenbelt, plantation work in the TSDF site will contribute in a positive manner towards mitigation of greenhouse gases. Global warming is a global concern and hence, the company will be undertaking all possible measures to minimize the CO2 emissions. These include regular maintenance of all fossil fuel based machinery and equipment and ensuring their emissions within limit. It will be ensured that all vehicles are having their Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificates. The vehicles and machinery will be maintained periodically as per manufacturer specification in order to ensure optimum fuel utilization. The specific pollution issues pertaining to proposed project activities are as follows: 1) Material handling by heavy equipment/machinery will release large amounts of dust if no action is taken for suppressing it at source, while the immediate effects will be poor visibility but intake of dust through inhalation and oral route can have health impacts at the secondary stage. 2) Transport vehicles will generate dust and gaseous emission while plying on paved/unpaved roads. The loading and unloading of hazardous waste during 131 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

136 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN transport operations are anticipated to add to the air pollution in core/buffer zone if appropriate control measures like spraying of water are not adopted. Dust suppression As dust particles if exceeds the limit they are harmful to health of the workers and also to the people residing nearby TSDF site areas. The following stringent measures will be taken to control dust pollution. Water sprinkling, is an effective way to keep dust under control. Sprinklers can also be employed to deliver continuous moisture in dust prone areas. Reducing the speed of a vehicle to 20 km/hr. can reduce emissions by a large extent. Other care shall be taken to keep all material storages adequately covered and contained so that they are not exposed to situations, where winds on site could lead to dust/particulate emissions. Fabrics and plastics for covering piles of soils and debris is an effective means to reduce fugitive dust from the material stores/warehouses. Regular maintenance of vehicles and machinery should be carried out Ambient air quality monitoring should be carried out during construction phase. If monitored parameters are above the prescribed limits, suitable control measures must be taken. Mitigation measures Fugitive emission will be controlled by containment. Liquid waste coming out during washing of area and scrubbing water (alkaline) bleed generated during cleaning of incineration gases will be treated in scrubber will control the emission from incineration. DG set will be used in emergency only. Incinerator Incinerator will be provided with a stack height meeting MoEF & CC Guidelines (45 M height), quencher, dry scrubber, and alkaline wet scrubber for acid removal. Potential pollutants and respective pollution control devices are as listed below: Dioxins& Furon: Quenching system will also be provided to avoid reformation of dioxin and furan.

138 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 4.4 Water Regime Water Demand Water requirement will be met through GIDC water supply. Total GIDC water supply required (for industrial purpose and 26 KL/Day (for domestic purpose). The waste water generation is limited to 312 KL/Day Source of water Water requirement will be met through GIDC water supply Surface water Impact No impact on surface water resources is anticipated during both the construction phase and operational phase of the project as there is no surface water resources prevailing in the study area Ground water Impact No impact on Ground water resources is anticipated during both construction as well as operational phase of the project as there is no withdrawal of groundwater or effluent disposal on the land, The Water demand shall be met through GIDC water supply Impact on Water Quality Construction Phase & Operation Phase The total raw water consumption estimated 610 KLD and limit is 312 KL/Day (for industrial purpose) and 26 KLD (for domestic purpose) depending upon type of construction & domestic activities at site. This requirement of water will be fulfilled from the GIDC. The waste water generation is limited to 312 KL/Day, which will be appropriately treated and disposed as per stipulations by GPCB. Adequate drainage system requiring channelization of runoff water will be made to avoid water logging. Therefore, no long term adverse impact on water quality (surface as well as ground) is anticipated during construction phase. Management Measures Washing in Laboratory, leachate generated from landfill, and boiler / D.M. water plant waste water will be treated in MEE. The salt generated from MEE will be disposed at landfill of BEIL. The condensate water generated from MEE is sent to common effluent treatment plant of ETL at Akleshwar. 134 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

139 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Domestic waste water is disposed into sewer system of GIDC. However, the lining and draining system consisting of sand, gravel etc are to be properly laid to avoid to any accidental contamination at the site and downstream. Therefore, proper barrier systems like impermeable liners, gravity slope and gravel packed channels as suggested will be constructed for natural flow of leachate and contact water. The leachate generated will be collected in an underground sump from where it can be pumped out to the treatment unit. Thus, the chances of ground water contamination can be avoided. 4.5 Noise Level Impact and Management Impact due to noise Noise is unwanted and unpleasant sound, which causes distraction, disturbance and annoyance. Continuous exposure to high level of noise can impair human hearing power. Construction activities are likely to produce noise up to some considerable extent. During construction phase of the project activity, there will be noise generation from earth moving equipment and material handling traffic. The noise generation level will be confined within the surrounding area of construction site. There will be short term, localized and reversible impact on ambient noise levels during the construction activities. In operation activities, frequent vehicular movement for loading/unloading of industrial waste and other transport are cause of adverse effect on noise environment. Adequate noise control measures such as mufflers, silencers at the air inlet/outlet, anti-vibration pad for equipment with high vibration, earmuff and earplugs to the operators, etc. shall be provided. Housing/casing shall provide for all noise generating machines. However, green belt will help to reduce noise. The adverse impact on occupationally exposed workers is not envisaged, as they will be provide with noise protection devices. Noise mapping The noise mapping of existing incinerator plant was carried out using the international slandered method. Noise maps were developed for each noise source. The measured noise at each source was above 85 dba. The workers working continuously at these incinerators may be affected with hearing problem 135 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

The noise map is shown for point as well as for line source. The line source is the approach road where waste transport vehicle would be passing. The noise map for proposed incinerator is mapped at the centrifuge shed area. The workers working very close to the noise source can get affected; therefore appropriate measures shall be taken to control noise. Noise expected during Construction Phase. Though level of construction activities shall not be very high, still some specific sources of noise like welding, transportation, movement of earth movers, tractors, concrete or asphalt mixing etc. should be carried out in a controlled manner. Neither the plant nor the construction workers should be exposed to excessive noise levels. Noise Mitigation Measures Noise would be an inevitable by product of the operation Enhancement of Capacity Change in Configuration of the incinerator installed at CTSDF GIDC Ankleshwar, DistBharuch,Gujarat M/S Bharuch Enviro Infrastructure Limited.

By adopting good foundation, good alignment, well lubricated of machinery Only occasional and for a small duration of time. All the machinery including pumps and compressors should be lubricated and well-fixed to minimize noise. DG set should be covered from all sides Proper study foundation provided for all the machines and equipments. Other measures Noise could cause serious health hazard and could damage ear of workers. The following Precautionary measures are to be adopted in the proposed project. Proper care will be taken at the time of installation to insulate/enclose all the noise sources to avoid occupational exposure to the workers and also to minimize the generation of excess noise level. Monitor the ambient noise level and work zone noise level as per the monitoring schedules to conform the stipulated norms. Noise attenuation devices such as ear mufflers must be provided to the workers in the high noise exposure areas. Vibration: The proposed expansion of incinerator plant would not generate vibration during construction or operation stage 4.6 Socio Economic Impacts The manpower requirement for the proposed project activity will be expected to generate some secondary jobs for the operation and maintenance. This will temporarily increase the employment opportunity. Secondary jobs shall also bound to be generated to provide dayto-day needs and services to the work force. This will also temporarily increase the demand for essential daily utilities in the local market. 138 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

143 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Social impacts like property price depreciation represent an external cost of waste disposal and treatment facilities. Property values are also affected by their proximity to a new landfill. The other adverse impact includes stress arising from fear to risk to health, etc. However, as a result of such projects, there would be employment generation, business generation, infrastructure development, etc. The proposed activities shall generate indirect employment in the region due to the requirement of workers in trail making, supply of raw material, auxiliary and ancillary works, which would marginally improve the economic status of the people. The activities would result in an increase in local skill levels through exposure to activities. The proposed expansion project is expected to create beneficial impact on the local socioeconomic environment Public Health During construction period, periodic checkups of all the employees shall be done regularly. Workers will be provided with basic amenities like safe water supply, low cost sanitation facilities, first aid, required personal protective equipment, etc. Otherwise, there could be an increase in diseases related to personal hygiene. 4.7 Ecology and Biodiversity There is no notified/protected ecologically sensitive area including national park, sanctuary, Elephant/Tiger reserves existing in the study area. The impact due to proposed activity on the ecological parameters like natural vegetation, cropping pattern and aquatic life, forests and species diversity is as summarized below. Proposed enhancement in capacity of incineration system/facility at existing common hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities (CHWTSDF), which is located on non-agriculture land and there will not be any cutting of the plantation at the site. During construction phase, due to generation of fugitive dust emission there will be slight impact on natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Emission shall be within limit by incorporating EMP provisions. Therefore, the adverse impact over any of the ecological components of the environment is negligible. Since the proposed project activity is on non-agricultural land, it is not likely to alter the crop production and pattern of the area, either during the construction phase or the operation phase. Further, the necessary environmental protection measures will be planned under EMP e.g. air pollution control systems designed to take care of even emergency releases of the gaseous pollutants like PM, SO2 and NOx regular environmental surveillance, etc; so as not to have any short-term or cumulative effect on the crops and the natural vegetation of the area. 139 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

144 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN The details of Flora/Fauna species and the wildlife habitat in the area covering 10 km radius have been collected to determine the existence of rare and/ or endangered species. There is no reserved forest, national park or sanctuary within 10 km radius of the plant. The predicted impact on surrounding ecology is not very significant Aesthetic Environment The proposed facility is to be developed on industrial land with good landscape and plantation. Increase in fugitive emission due to very limited construction activities and increase in the vehicular movement due to the proposed activity may have minimal adverse impact on the visual quality. However, this impact can be minimized with implementation of environment management plan. Since there is no discharge of effluent to any water body, there is no adverse impact in the visual water quality. Adverse impacts are minimized with adoption of various EMP measures taken by the facility on the aesthetic environment Occupational health and risk to surrounding community Site preparation and Secured Landfill Facility involve many occupational health hazards to the workers at site. Noise generated during Setting up and the development of Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility, Hazardous Waste Treatment (stabilization) Storage & Disposal including, Waste Receipt, Characterization and storage may affect the workers and staff members. Handling, transportation, storage, disposal and transportation of hazardous wastes, chemicals, fuel etc may cause health hazard if not handled properly. Mitigation Measures All employees will first undergo medical checks-up organized by the HR Department before hiring is done. All people who have a satisfactory health condition will be hired and the facility for free medical checkups will be given to each and every employee every 3 months. First aid facilities will be available at the premises to treat basic injuries.

A final cover system at the top of the landfill, which enhances surface drainage, prevents infiltration of water and support vegetation. A surface drainage system, which collects and removes all surface runoff from land fill site. Operational phase During the Monsoon months the waste should be stockpiled in temporary holding area (covered with roof). During this period the landfill has to be kept capped with final cover/intermediate cover, and land filling operation should be suspended to reduce infiltration of rain water in to landfill. Leachate drainage collection and removal: A leachate collection system shall be designed at the base of the landfill. It shall comprise of drainage layer, a perforated pipe collection system, sump collection area and removal system. Final cover system: A final landfill cover, comprising of several layers, each with specific function shall be installed, after each landfill phase reaches the full height. The final cover system shall enhance surface drainage. Any drainage channels or drains constructed on the restored landfill surface shall be able to resist erosion and cope with localized storm condition. It is recommended that soil samples should be collected and analyzed every year. For mitigation, to monitor, any adverse impact on soils, around the TSDF, during and after operations.

So, there is no additional land required during the Enhancement in Capacity of Incineration System. There will be no displacement from the expansion area. Hence, SIA study is not required. RISK ANALYSIS & DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN INTRODUCTION Hazard Identification is a critical step in Risk Analysis. A classical definition of hazard states that hazard is in fact the characteristic of system/plant/process that presents potential for an accident. Hence all the components of a system/plant/process need to be thoroughly examined in order to assess their potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of events, which can be termed as an accident. In Risk Analysis terminology a hazard is something with the potential to cause harm. Hence the Hazard Identification step is an exercise that seeks to identify what can go wrong at the major hazard installation or process in such a way that people may be harmed. The output of this step is a list of events that need to be passed on to later steps for further analysis. Risk analysis deals with identification and computation of consequence and risks. Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. This requires a thorough knowledge of probability of failure, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of population to exposure etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum credible accident scenarios. It provides basis for preparation of on-site and off-site emergency plan and also to incorporate safety measures. Secured Land Filling (SLF) and allied activities as a part of the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facilities (TSDFs), are associated with several potential 154 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

159 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN hazards to both the employees and the public. A worker in a TSDF site should be able to work under conditions, which are adequately safe and healthy. At the same time the environmental conditions should be such as not to impair his working efficiency. This is possible only when there is adequate safety in TSDF site. The objective of the Risk Analysis study is to identify vulnerable zones, major risk contributing events, understand the nature of risk posed to nearby areas and form a basis for the Emergency Response Disaster Management Plan (ERDMP). In addition, the Risk Analysis is also necessary to ensure compliance to statutory rules and regulations. Risk assessment methodology is given in Figure belowsteps of the risk analysis is as follows Identification of Hazards and Selection of Scenarios Effects and Consequence Calculations Risk Summation (Risk calculation) Risk assessment (using an acceptability criteria) Risk Mitigation Measures 155 Figure 7-1: Risk Analysis Methodology M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

160 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN Hazard Identification Identification of hazards in the proposed project expansion of incinerator which is Secured Land Filling (SLF) and allied activities as a part of the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facilities (TSDFs) is of primary significance of the analysis, and quantification of risk hazard indicates the characteristics of hazardous wastes that pose potential for an emergency situation in the event of spillage and accidental release of hazardous wastes from the site. All the components of a system/plant/process need to be thoroughly examined to assess their potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of events, which can be termed as an accident. Explosive wastes in form of explosive solid and explosive liquid. Flammable wastes Corrosive Wastes Reactive wastes Toxic wastes Flammable wastes containing solvent residue, can form explosive mixture with air, and heating may cause pressure rise with risk of bursting and explosion (however in case of TSDF explosion 156 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

Various type of organic hazardous wastes, paint wastes, waste oil,etc are flammable in nature and can catch fire if getting source ofignition. There will be release of toxic fume at the time of burring in the event of fire. Other Hazard and Control Human Health Risk from TSDF Site Toxic medical wastes and e-wastes managed and disposed at the proposed TSDF can release constituents of concern (CoCs) as vapors or particles to the air. wind-blown erosion of disposed hazardous waste or as leachate to the ground water. Hazardous wastes managed in barrels or tanks can release COCs into the atmosphere via volatilization. During the operation of TSDF site, wastes may be entered into the environment though the following sources: Emission of particulate matters due to windblown erosion of disposed wastes; Volatization of organic liquid wastes; Infiltration of leachate into ground and subsequently contamination of ground water in an unlikely event of damage to liner system of TSDF site; Spillage of contaminated run off from the TSDF site during heavy rains; Table 7-1: Characterization of Wastes Categories of Waste Type of Wastes Regulatory Quantities Waste Category No. 4 Mercury, Arsenic, Thallium and Cadmium bearing wastes. 5 kilograms per year the sum of the specified substance calculated as pure metal.

To the extent possible, manual operations within storage area are to be avoided. In case of manual operation, proper precautions need to be taken, particularly during loading/unloading of liquid hazardous waste in drums. A system for inspection of storage area to check the conditions of the containers, spillages, leakages etc. should be established and proper records should be maintained. The wastes containing volatile solvents or other low vapor pressure chemicals should be adequately protected from direct exposure to sunlight and adequate ventilation should be provided. Storage sites should have adequate & prompt emergency response equipment systems for the hazardous waste stored on-site. This should include firefighting arrangement based on the risk assessment, spill management, evacuation and first aid. Immediately on receipt of the hazardous waste, it should be analyzed and depending upon its characteristics and storage & disposal should be finalized. Only persons authorized to enter and trained in hazardous waste handling procedures should have access to the hazardous waste storage areas. Mock drill for onsite emergency should be conducted regularly and records maintained Display of Necessary Information at TSDF Site Necessary information containing the following elements shall be displayed at the site. 7.3 Waste type (ignitable, toxic, reactive, etc) Approximately quantity of each type of wastes Generation location of waste storage area Evacuation point General Recommendations and Suggestion Based on the Study All precautions will be taken to attend any emergency due to handling, storage and disposal of such hazardous wastes. Safety measures such as fire fighting system facility already working at TSDF site will be provided during the emergency. Proper handling of hazardous chemical, hazardous wastes, regular cleaning & proper placement of material will be maintained during operational phase. 7.4 Disaster management plan (DMP) The objective of disaster management plan is to localize a disaster and to the maximum extent possible contain it to minimize the impact on life, the environment and property. 160 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

165 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN The disaster management plan may be broadly divided into following steps as given in Figure belowfigure 7-2: Steps for DMP Objectives of DMP Minimization of the risks to lives and safety of proposed TSDF operators onsite and of the neighboring community. Coordination for appropriate and effective actions with outside regulatory agencies during and after their involvement in on-site emergencies. Containing and minimizing environmental damage, to surroundings, and to site property, and equipment, which could occur from emergency or accidental situations beyond the normal operations of the TSDF. Maintaining effective trained personnel capable of performing the established emergency response procedures when it is required. The risk involved during the hazardous waste transportation, storage and disposal site will involve hazardous consequences due to the toxicity of the waste, flammability of the waste or explosively of the waste Priority in Emergency Handling The general order of priority for involving measures during the course of emergency would be as follows: Safeguard life Safeguard environment Safeguard property CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES Emergency is a general term implying hazardous situation both inside and outside the plant/installation premises. Thus, the emergencies termed onsite when it confines itself within the plant/installation even though it may require external help and off-site when 161 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

166 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN emergency extends beyond its premises. It is to be understood here, that if an emergency occurs inside the proposed expansion of TSDF and could not be controlled properly and timely, it may lead to an off-site emergency OBJECTIVES The main objectives of emergency management system are the following; Identification, control and containment of the hazardous situation. Minimizing the impact of event/accident prevention of damage to Men, Materials and Property To achieve the above stated objectives of emergency planning, the critical elements are: An early detection of an emergency and careful planning Co ordination and response organization structure along with efficient trained personnel Availability of resources for handling emergencies Appropriate emergency response actions Effective notification and communication facilities Regular review and updating of the ERP Proper training of the concerned personnel The emergencies at the proposed TSDF can be broadly classified into three levels: Level 1: The emergency, which is containable within the factory premises. Emergency may be due to spillage of liquid or solid hazardous wastes, small fire in flammable hazardous wastes, etc which can come under this category. Level 2: The emergency, which is containable within the factory premises. Emergency may due to fire in flammable hazardous wastes, filling of water in disposal pit due to heavy rain, etc which can come under this category. Level 3: An incident at the proposed expansion of TSDF phase III may occur, causing a severe hazard or a large area which poses an extreme threat to life or property. Breakage in slope and liner system due to de-settlement/earth quake, subsequently contamination of soil and ground water. 7.5 LEGAL AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLANNING The provisions of the Hazardous Chemicals Rules, Section 41 B(4) of the Factories Act, 1948 (as amended) requires that every occupier is to draw up an on-site emergency plan with detailed disaster control measures and to educate the workers employed. 162 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

167 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN The obligation of an occupier of hazardous chemicals installation to prepare an emergency plan is also stipulated in Rule 13 of the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rule s, 1989 and subsequent amendments OFF-SITE EMERGENCY PLANNING Under the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules preparation of Off-site Emergency Plan is covered in Rule No.14.The duty of preparing and keeping up to date the Off-site Emergency Plan as per this Rule is placed on the District Emergency Authority. Also, occupiers are charged with the responsibility of providing the above authority with such information, relating to the industrial activity under their control, as they may require for preparing the off-site emergency plan. Off-site emergency response needs actions by various Government agencies over which the operating company has no control. BEIL role and responsibility is to provide material, manpower, and knowledge support under the overall charge of the off-site control administration. 7.6 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The management structure includes the following personnel s; Chief Emergency Controller Site Main Controller Incident Controller Key Personnel s Essential Workers The following are earmarked in the plant Assembly points Emergency control center Fire fighting arrangements Medical facilities Other arrangements In case of an emergency, the On-site Emergency Plan of the proposed expansion of TSDF phase III will come into action. Effective on-site emergency plan requires that in the event of an accident, nominated functionaries be given specific responsibilities, often separate from their day-to-day activities. The emergency organization follows the usual pattern of the hierarchy. The senior-most functionary available during an emergency at the proposed expansion of TSDF phase III takes charge as Chief Emergency Coordinator (CEC) and will locate himself at the designated Primary Command Post. The senior most functionaries for each emergency 163 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

The senior most persons in the shift will be designated as the Site Incident Controller (SIC). The SIC will take charge of the incident site and take the overall command. He shall be supported by other key persons representing various emergency services. Key persons are personnel available at the site on round the clock basis. It is to be appreciated that the key persons remain the front line fighters. The role of various coordinators is to assess the situation from time to time, take appropriate decisions in consultation with the CEC and to provide timely resources to the key persons to fight the emergency. 1 Incident Controller Fire & Safety Medical Officer Security 5 Pers. & Admn. 6 7 Environment Maintenance 8 Stores Table 7-2: Authorities and Responsibility For the safe shut down of Plant.

Initial Notification of Releases In the event of emergency, alarm will be raised in control room. Otherwise, any person noticing a fire, explosion or the release of hazardous materials should shout spillage or "Fire and. He will also inform the control room on the nearest telephone and the panel officer will inform SIC. ACTION BY INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE AT THE TIME OF EMERGENCY WHEN YOU NOTICE FIRE Do immediately inform the control room. Do act to control the incident as per the instructions. Do reach the assembly point. Do not get panicky or spread rumors. Do not approach control room without work. Do not engage telephone or loud phone continuously Establishment and Staffing of Command Post Quickly establish a command post near the scene of incident. The minimum that is necessary is a continuously manned communication system close to the incident site. 165 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

170 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN It is the responsibility of the response personnel at the Command Post to restrict the entry or movement of people into the Hazard zone. The first step of a response action must be restriction of access to the leakage site and other hazardous areas. Security and access control at Command Post and Primary Command Post need to be provided. Formulation of Response Objectives and Strategy at the Incident Site It is the responsibility of the CEC to decide on the appropriate response strategy specific to the situation prevailing. It is important to assess each particular incident before taking action. CEC in consultation with the Site Incident Controller will formulate realistic response objectives. The assessment should be based on resource requirement i.e. trained personnel and protective gear. Upon completion of the incident assessment, command personnel will be in a better position to determine whether their response strategy should be defensive or offensive in nature. A defensive posture is best taken when intervention may not favorably affect the outcome of the incident, or is likely to place emergency response personnel in significant danger, and/or may possibly cause more harm than good. An offensive posture (i.e., one requiring response personnel to work well within the boundaries of hazard zones) is best taken when intervention is likely to result in a favorable outcome without exposing personnel to undue danger and without causing new and potentially more severe problems 7.7 COMMUNICATION SYSTEM & ACTION ON THE SITE Communication System Any person noticing an emergency should be able to raise or cause to be raised the first floor level emergency alarm. All employees must be trained to operate such emergency alarms. There should be an adequate number of points from which the alarm can be raised either directly, by activating an audible warning of individual signal or message to a preliminary manned location. This has the advantage of permitting the earliest possible action to be taken to control the situation, which in turn may avoid the development of a major emergency. All such points must be distinctively marked and known to all employees. The alarm should be audible in every part of the plant. In areas of high noise level, it may be advantageous to provide an alternative to an audible alarm e.g. flashing lights. Alarm systems vary and will depend on the size of works. On small sites a simple alarm system should be suffice which provide the means whereby the persons hearing the incident can warn others of the danger and summon assistance. On large sites a staged warning system may be more appropriate. The person 166 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

171 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN discovering the incident should warn all those in the vicinity who should either evacuate or take other immediate action according to the predetermined plan. Automatic alarms may be appropriate on some sites. To communicate disaster hooter will be useful for proposed expansion of incinerator area and public in surrounding area. The alarm should alert the site controller who should assess the situation and implement appropriate emergency procedures. Separate alarms may be necessary to warn of different types of emergency such as fire and the beginning of the emergency as different procedure may be required. Care must be taken, however to avoid a multiplicity of alarms which would cause confusion. In case of total electricity failure and the alarms, telephones and intercom system not working, help of runners/messengers shall be taken. One (or more) big bell (independent power) and magnetic telephones with fire and emergency services may also be useful. Public address system or internal telephones throughout the proposed TSDF will be use full for quick communication. The alarm system should be checked periodically to test efficiency Declaring the Major Emergency The declaration of major emergency puts many agencies on action and the running system may be disturbed which may be very costly at times or the consequences may be serious, therefore such declaration should not be decided on whims or immature judgment or without proper thought. Because of scale of activity which will be activated after the declaration of major emergency. They should be selected on the basis that their knowledge and experience equips them to recognize the fact of a major emergency or the potential for it. Such nominated persons will advise the Crises Controller, declare the emergency and it will be declared accordingly through him. The joint decision to declare major emergency may be taken but it should be as early as possible and without wasting the time TELEPHONE MESSAGE After hearing the emergency alarm and emergency declaration or even while fast receiving the emergency message on phone, a telephone operator (or Communication Officer) has to play an important role. He should be precise sharp, attentive and quick in receiving and noting the message and then for immediate subsequent action of further communication. 167 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

172 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN COMMUNICATION OF EMERGENCY There should be an effective system to communicate emergency (a) Inside the proposed expansion of TSDF i.e. to the workers including key personnel and essential workers, on duty and inside during normal working hours (b) To the key personnel and essential workers not on duty and outside during normal working hours. (c) To the outside emergency services and the government authorities and (d) To the neighboring firms and the general public in the vicinity. Key points are suggested below: COMMUNICATION TO THE OUTSIDE EMERGENCY SERVICES AND AUTHORITIES Once the declaration is made, it is essential that the outside emergency services if they have not already been called in, be informed in the shortest possible time. Liaison at local level will help to determine the best means of achieving this, for example, direct line or automatic alarm to the fire brigade or by any emergency system. Predetermined code words to indicate the scale and type of the emergency may be useful. The emergency must be immediately communicated to the Government Authorities such as local Factory Inspectorate, Collectorate, Police and District Emergency Authority. The statutory information to above authorities must be supplied beforehand so that they can be well prepared to operate their offsite emergency control (contingent) plan. As per their advice to consultation, onsite plan should be modified and updated STATUTORY COMMUNICATIONS Under the statutory provisions, information is required to be given to the following: 7.8 The workers The general public and neighboring firms Distract Emergency Authority. Factory Inspectorate SERVICES AND CONTROL Public Address System Public Address System will be installed at selected points in the plant, which shall be used for announcement/ information to be given Telephones Adequate facility for internal telephones already installed in the different offices in the proposed TSDF shall be used to communicate any emergency to personnel. 168 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

174 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 8 PROJECT BENEFITS Incineration is a part of Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facility would minimize the risk involved in hazardous waste management by way of transportation waste movement and treatment of Hazardous waste through manifest and regular monitoring of such facility would be better and feasible as compared to captive facilities by individual industries. These factors as well as a strong desire to come up as a single window solution provider for waste management issues have led BEIL to embark setting up this Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facility (TSDF), apart from achieving other social objectives. As continuing effort, enhancement in incineration facility is proposed. 8.1 IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE BEIL is offering huge employment potential to the surrounding peoples and technocrats. Besides direct employment, there is possibility of creation of indirect employment opportunities due to working of Secured Landfill as a part of Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facilities. With the installation of incineration facility proposed, there will be additional employment opportunities for about 100 persons (Construction phase) and about 15 persons (Operational phase). In general, the project is to have positive environmental impacts by collecting and disposing the hazardous waste in the scientific manner that will reduce the future health hazard. Overall, this will have positive impact on socio-economic profile of the area. 8.2 GREEN BELT Free space will be provided for plantation purpose and the right saplings will be planted to provide ambience to the people working at the facility and also keeping in mind the environmental benefits of these plants. The green belt will be developed along plot boundaries using varieties of plant species suitable to local environment. Species type will be based on soil characteristics and other related aspects to mitigate pollution effects due to noise, odour, dust etc. The major advantage of green belt is development of buffer zone and visual barrier for surrounding locality. Green belt will be also helpful for reducing the soil erosion, suppress dust generation and enhancing the aesthetic value of the area. As a compensatory measure, green belt shall be developed in the minimum 20 meter strip of land encircling the site. Green belt is developed in total sq. mt (length: mt and average 15 mtrs. Width, and around 5000 (250 length * 20 width) sq. mtrs. near Phase III) to mitigate the impacts on the overall air quality at the site. In addition to above we have planted trees 170 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

176 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 9 ENVIRONMENTAL COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS Environmental cost and benefit analysis can inform an assessment of sustainability in two key ways. In a general sense, applying a rigorous analytic environmental cost and benefit analysis framework can help ensure that a sustainability assessment clearly describes and accounts for different economic, social, and environmental impacts in a way that addresses analytic concerns such as double counting and the treatment of varying time frames. The environmental cost and benefit analysis framework can also help identify areas where other types of analysis may be complementary. BEIL is operating common TSDF and doing Environment Management through Hazardous waste treatment and disposal, so all activities, process and operation is concerned with Environment management and improvement. The funds earmarked for environment protection measures shall be maintained in a separate account and there shall be no diversion of these funds for any other purpose. Compare to individual industry managing hazardous waste of their own including in captive facility, the common facility for proposed expansion will have environmental benefit in terms of proper land filling, appropriate leachate collection and treatment in the appropriately in the lined landfill system of following guidelines by CPCB. The upcoming project will generate direct and indirect employment opportunities for the local people. The proposed the enhancement in capacity of incinerator at existing secured landfill, as a part of the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facilities (TSDFs), which will create employment including skilled as well as semi-skilled staff directly or indirectly. During Construction phase, the labours and workers will be hired from nearby villages. Number of persons required during construction phase is 100 and 15 no s required during operation. The secondary employment in the form of providing services to the employed manpower will also be developed in the neighboring villages. The company will also provide the helping hand in the development of the nearby villages by arranging regular medical checkup camp for the employees. The project will generate a fair amount of direct, indirect and induced employment in the study region. The local economy will receive a boost due to employee spending and services generated by applicant.

193 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN 11 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION M/s Bharuch Enviro Infrastructure Limited (BEIL) is operating Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF) consisting of secured landfill (SLF) (since 1997) and Common Incineration System (since 2004) at GIDC Ankleshwar. This is the first common landfill facility developed in India, under the guidance of National Productivity Council, New Delhi and the German experts with them. The CHWTSDF has been notified by Government of Gujarat. Phase-I of secured landfill facility, after disposal of 6 Lacs MT of solid/hazardous wastes, has been capped as per CPCB guidelines. Phase-II of secured landfill has been designed by IIT Delhi and is in operation (since 2007) having the capacity of 17 Lacs MT. Till December 2016, approximately 23lacs MT of solid/hazardous wastes has been disposed. BEIL, during its 18 years of operation, have collected and disposed of approximately 23 Lacs MT of hazardous wastes in the secured landfill (SLF). The Phase III of secured landfill (SLF) has been designed by IIT Delhi and is in under construction phase having the capacity of Lacs MT (assuming a density 1.5 Mg/m3). Common Incineration System for treating organic waste was setup in 2004 with thermal capacity of 6.5 million kcal/hour. BEIL have setup second incinerator in 2012 and in this system, waste heat is also recovered. The steam generated is used in the Multiple Effect Evaporation System (MEE). Solid Liquid/ other types of wastes are being treated in the Common Incineration system and so far approximately 1.53 Lacs MT waste has been incinerated. As the incinerable waste generation in the region is increasing day by day, BEIL is not able to treat the requirement of member industries. Also, during the breakdown and maintenance of existing incinerators, there is requirement for an incinerator. The present proposal is for the enhancement in capacity of incinerator with thermal capacity of 12million kcal/hour. Such change in configuration of phase II incinerator from one of 25 million kcal/hour capacity as per the EC of Phase II. BEIL obtained NOC for phase-i from Gujarat Pollution Control Board dated on vide No. HSZ/BRCH-315/1633 as per the requirement of then Hazardous Waste Management& Handling Rules, The TSDF site was notified by Department of Forest and Environment, Government of Gujarat on 6/1/1998. BEIL has obtained Environment Clearance for Expansion of TSDF Phase II and Incineration Facility on dated 4th March 2008, vide letter No.10-48/2007/ IA III under EIA Notification of After that BEIL has also obtained Environment Clearance for Expansion of TSDF Phase III and Incineration Facility issued by MoEF vide letter No.10-10/2014-IA.III dated 31stDecember 2016, under EIA Notification of M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

198 FINAL EIA /EMP REPORT FOR PROPOSED ENHANCEMENT IN BASELINE CONDITIONS The baseline study of the existing environmental conditions of the proposed project site and of its close vicinity have been established with respect to physical, biological and socio economic environment. The air quality of the area meets the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The background noise levels were also found well within the standards. The quality of ground water was assessed by taking samples and analysed as per CPCB guidelines. The ground water quality was also found well within the standards. It is envisaged that no surface water body is existing in the core study area. In the ground water concentration of some parameters at some location are exceeding the permissible limit because of the natural occurrence, geological as well as industrial setup of the area No forest land is falling in the study area. In addition to that there is no sensitive ecosystem in the vicinity. No rehabilitation and resettlement issue is emerging with the selected project site POLLUTION SOURCE AND ITS CONTROL MEASURE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM Emission from incinerator system is passed through the Air pollution Control device equipped with Bag Filter & Scrubber At TSDF site, fugitive emission generated while spreading waste at land fill is controlled through water/leachate spray, in landfill facility. Leachate comes out in the form of liquid waste and is evaporated in the MEE facility and part is sent to the CETP for treatment For emission of landfill gases, vent is provided in Landfill (capped cells) and monitoring of these vents is also carried out. Emissions from DG set containing PM, SO2 and NOX within permissible limit will be let-out through stack. At present, the online system is being follower SOLID & HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATIONS AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM As this is a Hazardous Solid Waste Disposal Facility, there is no hazardous waste generation from land filling facility. Hazardous waste generation is only due to incineration facility (Incineration Ash and MEE salt). Hazardous waste are received from the member industries for disposal. Incineration Ash, Discarded containers and used oil are generated from Common Incineration facility, which are handling as per the GPCB norms. 194 M/S BHARUCH ENVIRO INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED

267 CJI studies efficiency of judges Case Disposal SCORECARD Rate: Justice Dave Most Efficient Judge Justice T S Thakur Listed matters Notice issued 5, ,419 Justice A R Dave 3,907 Justice J S Khehar New Delhi: Chief Justice of India T S Thakur recently conducted a first-ever internal study to assess the individual contribution of 13 senior judges, heading two or three-judge benches in the Supreme Court, in reducing pendency of cases. The conclusion: five of the judges chipped away from pendency while the others added to it. Tackling pendency was always seen as a collective task in the Supreme Court and individual efforts of judges were seldom focused upon. But CJI Thakur, after taking over on December 2, asked the SC registry to determine how each of the 13 judges had performed in terms of disposal of cases in the past six months from July to December However, the index may not be an indicator of how the judges performed. One judge may have got cases involving complex questions of law or Constitutional is- 9 TIMES NATION THE TIMES OF INDIA, AHMEDABAD FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 2016 Disposal Difference Justice Dipak Misra 5, Justice J Chelameswar 5, ,709 Justice F M I Kalifulla 3,952 Justice Ranjan Gogoi Justice Madan B Lokur 4,402 3,523 Justice M Y Eqbal Justice V G Gowda Justice V Sen (retd) 2, Justice P C Ghose 2, Justice Kurian Joseph 2, sues, requiring hearings running into days and impeding the bench from disposing of a large number of cases, while others may have handled simpler cases allowing them to score higher. The study had just three parameters: number of cases listed before the judge, number of cases in which notice was issued (meaning that many cases were introduced into the justice delivery system) and number of cases disposed. The difference between the number of cases a judge introduced into the system by issuing notice and the number of cases disposed of showed his disposal rate. If the number is positive, the judge disposed of more cases than he entertained; if negative, the judge contributed to the pendency. The list compiled by the registry took into account the disposal by the judges till 11.25am on December 12, From the list compiled, only five of the 13 judges chip away from pendency. They, in order of disposal ranking, are Justices A R Dave, Ranjan Gogoi, CJI DISPOSAL OF CASES BY SC ,472 33, , ,437 33,888 Thakur, Madan B Lokur and J S Khehar reduced pendency while the remaining eight contributed to it. Justice Dipak Misra added the highest number of cases, followed by Justices P C Ghose, V Sen, Kurian Joseph, F M I Kalifulla, M Y Eqbal, V G Gowda and J Chelameswar. Justice Sen retired on December 30. Disposal of cases since 2011 by the Supreme Court also saw wide fluctuations. In 2011, it was 36,472 cases; 33,221 in 2012; 39,747 in 2013; 43,437 in 2014 and 33,888 in Jolt for Cong, BJP in Haridwar polls Tapan Susheel & Kautilya Singh TNN Roorkee/Dehradun: In a big blow to the two major political parties in Uttarakhand, independent candidates have won the maximum number of seats in the recently concluded zila panchayat elections in Haridwar district, results of which were declared on Thursday. While Bahujan Samaj Party has won 16 of the 47 seats, ruling Congress has had to settle for a distant third position with 11 seats. But what has come as a shock is that BJP has won just three seats. The BSP camp was jubilant. It (our victory) is a befitting reply by the citizens of Haridwar district to Congress, which had tried to destroy us. We are sure we will constitute our own board this time also, said former MLA Mohammad Shahjaj. In 2010, too, the BSP had formed its own board, with the support of inde- SP sweeps UP zila panchayat polls Lucknow: The ruling Samajwadi Party swept the UP district panchayat chairmen s poll with a tally of 60 seats out of possible 74 after Thursday s voting. The party, which had won 36 out of 38 seats, which had been decided without contest, won 24 more after the voting, striking a blow to BJP, which lost in PM Narendra Modi s constituency Varanasi and state chief Laxmi Kant Bajpeyi s constituency Meerut. TNN pendents. The board was dissolved by the state government in 2015 after a sum of Rs 1 crore was seized by the Uttar Pradesh police near Bareilly on September 15, 2015 from the official car of Anjum Begum, then chairperson of the zila panchayat board. She has been re-elected from Beldi Salhapur ward. The BJP, which had won eight seats in the 2010 polls, said had the polls been conducted on the party symbol, things would have been different. In that case, we would have registered a good victory, said BJP MLA (Haridwar) Madan Kaushik. The party had hoped to repeat the 2014 Lok Sabha elections success when the BJP s Ramesh Pokhriyal had won from Haridwar constituency with a big margin of 1.77 lakh against Congress candidate and CM Harish Rawat s wife Rawat Renuka Rawat. For the ruling Congress, whose members leaders had termed the Haridwar panchayat poll a semi-final before the 2017 assembly elections, the results have come as quite a jolt. For the full report, log on to Animal origin indicators on cosmetics? Dipak.Dash@timesgroup.com New Delhi: The consumer affairs department has called a meeting of all the stakeholders in the cosmetics, toothpastes and toiletries sector next week to understand their viewpoint on enforcing the red or brown and green dots indication on packed products specifying whether the product contains ingredients that are of animal origin. Sources said that women and child welfare minister and animal welfare activist Maneka Gandhi has been pushing for such signs on every item so that the consumer is aware of what product he/ she is using. She wants the labeling should be on cosmetics, toothpastes and toiletries. This will prevent vegetarians using any product with animal ingredient unknowingly, said a consumer affairs department official. In June 2014, the department had come out with a notification making it compulsory for every package containing soap, shampoo, toothpaste and other cosmetics and toiletries to bear at the top of its principal display panel a red or a brown dot for products of non-vegetarian origin and a green dot for products of vegetarian origin. But the Indian Beauty and Hygiene Association had challenged this notification in Bombay high court. Incredible India: Big B may replace Aamir and that s the way it should be, he said on Thursday. Union culture and tourism minister Mahesh Sharma told news agencies, Our contract was with McCann Worldwide (ad agency) for Atithi Devo Bhava campaign. The agency had hired TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi/Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, the brand ambassador of Gujarat Tourism, on Thursday emerged as the Centre s first choice to replace Aamir Khan as brand ambassador of Incredible India. Others in the fray are actors Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, sources said. The search for a new brand icon began after the Union tourism ministry confirmed on Wednesday that it would not renew its contract with the advertising agency which had picked Aamir as the face of the campaign. At the same time, sources close to Bachchan said that the government was yet to make a formal proposal to the 73-year-old actor. The speculation regarding his acceptance of the new role might have been triggered by a tweet from an un- HC relief for HP CM New Delhi: Himachal Pradesh CM Virbhadra Singh on Thursday got relief from the Delhi HC after it cleared the decks for him to get copies of documents in the money laundering case. TNN Bachchan s promotion of Gujarat makes him the favourite to succeed Aamir verified Twitter account that said he (Bachchan) was willing to be the face of Incredible India, the sources said. Bachchan s non-controversial image, ministry insiders said, has loaded the search in his favour, adding that his promotion of tourism in Gujarat led to an upsurge in the state s popularity as a holiday destination. Aamir s comment on growing intolerance in India had created a huge controversy and inviting criticism from BJP. Whether I am brand ambassador or not, India will remain Incredible, Aamir for the job. Now the contract with the agency is over. The ministry had not hired Aamir. Since the contract with the agency is over, automatically the arrangement with the actor no longer exists. Aamir responded saying he respected the government s decision to discontinue with his services while stating he never charged any money for the campaign. It s the prerogative of the government to decide whether it needs a brand ambassador, and if so, who that ambassador should be, Aamir said.
